| name or pseudonym | profession | country | revolutionary Shakespeare discoveries |
| Virginia | actor | USA/U.K. | yes. After reading "Scrivener"'s response (isn't Scrivener's speech about the good lord Hastings great?), am changing response to "yes" - although, just like Scr., these thousands daily (every thing is Shakesp.; Shakesp. = God, yes?) get too snaky-enameled skin and rich exceeding accompt to keep up with ! |
| GrumioAdamDukeOrsinoJusticeShallow | Scrivener | heavens&earth | yes. Only my own personal discoveries which I think rather run and hide into network of caves when I try to express them. It is something for me to work on. |
| Richard | Scribe | United States | yes. I have found that, to mangle a quote from someone else (of course, I forget who) that Shakespeare "is really very good, despite all the people who say he's very good." |
| Beatrice | high school student | USA | yes. Perhaps it isn't revolutionary. That's the wrong word. It's just that I couldn't find it anywhere else. I believe King Lear was Shakespeare's ultimate nightmare for himself. In the sonnet's he so often mentions time with a shudder. He hates its terrible effects and King Lear is the worst characterization of time's footprints. He is ancient and his old age has deprived him of good judgement. In one impulsive decision, he throws away the only person who really loves him and begins down a spiral that leads him to destruction. Because Shakespeare feared aging, I believe the idea of becoming a Lear figure and the destruction of his genius was a worst possibility than death for him. |
| Lady Ann | Student | England | yes. Only that he's the most amazing person ever. |
